This version of auto assist also offers roadside assistance, for example, to help change a flat tyre or jump start a battery.

Another advance feature under Perodua’s Auto Assist is the emergency evacuation service. In the event of an accident, the Auto Assist team will send those covered to the nearest hospital or medical centre.
